[Haskell-cafe] ANN: nano-hmac 0.2.0

[Thomas DuBuisson]

Hopefully this bundle would be a module that re-exports all the
submodules packages.  I'm kind of annoyed by some of my code that
imports ten different modules for one function from each.

So in this case:
import nanoCrypto (md5, sha, hmac)

where nanoCrypto is a bundle (just another hackage package, really) that
depends on nano-{md5,sha,hmac} and exports.

Sound good? Or perhaps this is already how things work in CPAN and I am
just stating what everyone already knows.
